"Examines the work of artist and photographer Dora Maar (1907-1997), who was active at the height of Surrealism in France, highlighting her contributions in the areas of commercial and fashion photography, her interest in socially concerned photography, and her late work from a relatively reclusive phase of her career"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Maar is one of those figures many of us have heard of, maybe even know of a work or two, but little beyond that. This book serves to introduce those of us in that group to the extensive body of work she produced as well as to her interesting life. While not a biography by any means we do walk away with an appreciation of what she chose to do and an understanding of why.
I think anyone interested in surrealism should have this book. In addition, anyone who wants to have a better understanding of what "the art world" was like will enjoy this as well. The essays delve into both the hows and the whys of many works of hers as well as an interesting discussion of the relationship between her and Picasso during the creation of Guernica. Fans of photography and painting will find much to like here.
